Yeah I'd agree, but I thought the couple dynamic was more important. Especially since I see a lot of people think Lily brings Marshall down and I think Chandler is a little more subdued after he and Monica gets married

quote:Agreed. I hate HIMYM. I used to watch it, but i got sick of Ted's whiny self. That and all of the jokes were repetitive and it just became not funny to me anymore.

I don't hate HIMYM. It is okay, it does what it does. Friends was just one of those special sitcoms that worked. It worked for a long time. And it left us at the right time. All the story lines were money. None were all that loathesome. And the jokes worked and kept showing up over time. The show just worked.
